If you’re a bit stuck when it comes to what to buy for a special someone, then why not think beyond winter and the season of fairy lights, and invest in something you can enjoy with them next year?
When the garden is used as a true extension of the home, why not furnish it as a room in its own right? The garden tends to be mostly used for dining, lounging and entertaining, so why not invest in a Christmas gift that allows the recipient to enjoy these relaxing outdoor pastimes?
There are plenty of outdoor dining sets to choose from, as well as the increasingly popular modular garden furniture that can be used very flexibly. Such items make your outdoor living space as versatile as it can possibly be, and can therefore prove a great investment – as well as a big hit when it comes to gifting.
If you and your partner of family are not sure what to buy one another this Christmas, why not splash some cash on something a little different to use together in your outside space? Hammocks, for example, are perfect for peaceful relaxation, while outdoor bean bags provide a simple seating solution when you have extra guests. Gazebos provide shelter when showers strike, while parasols and shade sails give a welcome, cool spot of relief during summer’s hottest days.
Spring may seem a long way off, but soon after Christmas, the snowdrops will give way to the first daffodils of the year, and before we know it the country will be awash with the colourful flowers of spring.
